What happened::

Papapawl, the scam artist basically put up a for sale listing for 2 D3's coming in Sep 15-25.
He did not offer escrow service and I didnt know what escrow was at the time.
i agreed to put down a security deposit of 0.15 BTC and then pay remaining 0.85 BTC once the miner was ready to ship by Paul. Total cost 1 BTC.
He also took 2.1 BTC for the same miners from another member here (so oversold can see reference link).
He updated the thread to both units sold and then a few days later changed it back to 1 LEFT (to continue scamming).

Fast forward a week, he replies back and says that he was camping and couldnt reply back. So offer to give refund or use escrow. And provides this proof of order from Bitmain for several D3 that he has coming to him:


By this time I had understood what an escrow was willing to use i as along as he agreed. Little did i know that he was going to impersonate Ognasty by using a fake email "[email protected]"
Sept 4 when i was ready to send the BTC i asked if he could verify the wallet address to send to. I never got a reply. So I contacted Ognasty through the bitcoin talk forum here and he said that I had most liekly been scammed.
SO as of today Sept. 6 I havent heard back from papapawl, Ognasty (FAKE email account) and have been left with no one to contact with using an escrow.

Purpose of this thread is to ensure that ppl stay clear and learn what sort of traps scammers set.
ALWAYS communicate with veteran members and communicate in public forum PM is bs, email is BS.

Any way I have posted his Drivers license and other info below.

Amount Scammed: 0.16 BTC
Payment Method: BTC Wallet to wallet
Proof of Payment:

Here is the direct link where you asked him to email you:


For some reason this damn forum doesnt allow me to post pictures.

Let me make this clear.  I DO NOT COMMUNICATE VIA EMAIL.  I USE THIS FORUM'S PM SYSTEM TO ARRANGE AND VERIFY ESCROWS.  IF SOMEONE ASKS YOU TO EMAIL THEM, THEY ARE NOT ME.  IF SOMEONE CLAIMS I ARRANGED AN ESCROW DEAL VIA EMAIL, THEY ARE A SCAMMER AND YOU SHOULD MAKE A SCAM ACCUSATION.

I cannot be more clear than that.  Please take the appropriate action, which is not bumping my escrow thread, but creating a scam accusation against the person who tried to scam you in the appropriate section.

So now you should be 100% certain this was a scam attempt, and 100% certain that your next post should be a scam accusation in the appropriate section listing the person's username that tried to scam you and all available evidence.
